New funding to expand early learning provision for two year olds

Norfolk County Council has a new duty from September 2013 to ensure that there are sufficient places available for eligible two year old children to access free early learning places.

It has therefore created a brand new £1m investment fund for all early learning and childcare providers to seek grants and loans that will support capital projects that enable them to increase the number of available places. Applications can be made by new or existing playgroups, pre-schools and day nurseries, including any Norfolk school that meets the funding criteria.

This scheme will be administered by Norfolk Community Foundation. For information about application details and guidelines please click here.
